A binary file is a computer file, usually not a text file.
Nonetheless, a text file itself is a binary file, because all computer files are binary files.
Description
Many binary file formats contain parts that can be interpreted as text; for example, some computer document files containing formatted text, such as older Microsoft Word document files, contain the text of the document but also contain formatting information in binary form.
